Compare to – Integrated Flexibility Continuum and Examples of Stretching

Active Flexibility: this type of training is to prepare muscles for use during exercise. It not only stretches the muscles and tissues but it prepares the muscle by actively warming them up. Take the joint to the end range of motion and hold for 2 seconds; repeat 5 or so times.

Holding a Active Isolated stretch for 1 to 2 seconds more than five times repetitively uses reciprocal inhibition to lengthen and prepare the muscles for activity in the short term. You can stretch all muscles in this manner, especially the overactive or tight muscles.
